It receives input in the brain and descends to the mesothoracic neuromere, where it innervates the wing neuropil (Yu et al., 2010). It expresses allatostatin C (Diaz et al., 2019) and it is cholinergic (Lillvis et al., 2024). There is around one of these cells per hemisphere (Yu et al., 2010; Lillvis et al., 2024). It plays a role in pulse song generation (Lillvis et al., 2024). fru-pMP2 male courtship behavior, veined wing generated song production
